Q10010408 - What is the default user name and password when I have plugged in ARC-1120 controller in my system?	4282
Q10010410 - What do we have to take care of during a firmware update? Are there any changes on the configuration? Do we have to reconfigure something?	3253
Q10010501- Areca has a feature that automatically takes a newly inserted drive and starts the RAID rebuild automatically. Can I disable that feature? I don’t want the RAID to start rebuilding when the drive is inserted. I want to control when it starts.	2846
Q10010603 - Will Areca ARC1220 DMA transfer data to odd memory addresses (addresses that are not word aligned)? As you know, standard SATA controllers will only do DAM transfers to even (word aligned) memory addresses. I need a controller that will support non-aligned transfers.	2258
Q10010605 - I installed the OS on the RAID5 array with 4 disks and it works. Then after an hour the controller began to beep. I shut down the computer and then started it again. In the BIOS menu of the ARC controller it shows now: 3 disks in the "degraded" RAID5 array (instead of 4) and one free disk (the one with the failure, I think this one shortly got too hot).How can I now reintegrate this disk into the RAID5? Data should still be OK.	2475
Q10010606 - A Dell Dimension system locks-up when booting after we install an Areca card.	2370
Q10010706 - The ARC-1220 is working fine in another motherboard, but when I install this card in Intel S3000AHLX motherboard the motherboard not boot up. Obviously, the Intel motherboard works fine with other PCIe RAID adapters, in the same PCIe X16 slot. I try with various firmware in card and motherboard and the system didn't boot up. Do you know what's happening?	2534
Q10010811- Can you please specify the SATA RAID controller firmware change release notes for the firmware version 1.45 to 1.46?	1933
Q10010903 - I created 5x1TB RAID 5 array w/ 5 Samsung F1 1TB drives. Things worked fine. Then I wanted to add an additional group of Samsung F1 drives to the array but the ARC1280 firmware 1.43 was having an issue with the newly attached drives and they were showing up as "failed" in the Raid Console (and the ARC1280 was beeping, driving me crazy).	1501
Q10010906 - I added a new raidset and volume using the CLI. I had no problems. I issued the command: rsf offline raid=2 Now the raidset no longer appears anywhere in the CLI. There is no "online" command p0. How do I get this raid volume back online without rebooting?	1139
